Houses you can imagine living in.

Meet your agent
Eleanor Hayworth
Founder & Principal Broker
Eleanor grew up in a 1920s shingled cottage off Miller Avenue and never quite left. After fifteen years in San Francisco architecture firms, she came back to Marin in 2006 and got her real-estate license two years later. Hayworth Realty opened in a Throckmorton storefront the spring of 2008 — yes, that spring — and has been steady on the same block ever since.
Eighteen years in, the brokerage covers Mill Valley, Tiburon, Sausalito, the Ross Valley, and a careful slice of West Marin. We work both sides of the deal, but the practice is built on listings — really good ones, slowly. The average house we represent has been on a long pre-listing prep cycle: light staging, an architect's eye, photography that doesn't lie.
If you're buying, we tell you what's wrong with the house before you ask. If you're selling, we tell you what to fix before we put up a sign. The math after eighteen years says it works — list-to-close ratio above 100%, average days on market in the low teens.

How we can help
Buying, selling, and the strategy in between.
Buying
Coffee first, listings second. We start with a long conversation about what you actually want — neighborhood, light, ceilings, school cycle — and only then do we open the MLS.
- Off-market access to pocket listings before they hit the MLS
- Honest condition reports — what's wrong with the house
- Inspection coordination + contractor walk-throughs
- Local lender introductions (rates + jumbo financing)
- Closing-day support and 90-day post-move check-ins
Selling
We list slowly and on purpose. The goal isn't to be on the market by Friday — it's to be on the market once and sell at the right price.
- Pre-listing walk-through with our staging architect
- Targeted prep recommendations (paint, flooring, light fixes)
- Architectural photography + 3D matterport tour
- Custom microsite for every listing over $2M
- Quiet pre-marketing to our buyer pool before going live
Strategy & Consulting
Not buying or selling yet? Most of our clients started with a one-hour strategy session two or three years before they listed.
- Long-horizon valuation and timing advice
- Renovation ROI analysis before you pull permits
- Probate, divorce, and trust-sale guidance
- Investment property + 1031 exchange coordination
- Off-market acquisition for serious buyers
What clients say
Eighteen years of word-of-mouth.
“Eleanor told us not to buy the first three houses we loved. Two months later she walked us into the right one. We're still in it nine years later.”
James & Aria Chen — Bought in Mill Valley, 2017
“We thought our house would sell quickly. Eleanor said 'yes, but for less than it should.' She made us wait six weeks while we redid the kitchen — and we sold $400K over asking.”
Patricia Rosenfeld — Sold in Tiburon, 2024
“I called eleven brokers when I inherited my mother's house. Eleanor was the only one who told me not to sell yet. She was right — that advice was worth six figures.”
Daniel Park — Sold in Ross, 2025
